Outer Banks, North Carolina

35°33'N, 075°27'W

To get the skinny on North Carolina’s famously rugged and beautiful Outer Banks, we asked local Randy Ramsey, president of Jarrett Bay Boatworks, for his take:

“Go to Ocracoke Island. People love it. There’s no bridges or anything so you need to go by boat. It’s isolated and just so pretty. Everybody loves Howard’s Pub. It’s a great local place that makes everybody feel welcome. There are several small marinas in Silver Lake. They’re all good. Go try ’em!”

Howard’s Pub, 252-928-4441; www.howardspub.com
